Is a VW California bigger than a Transporter?
However, the VW California has a smaller living space than the Transporter Camper, making it feel cramped if more than two people travel. With its wider seating area and more room for storage, the Transporter Camper is better suited for longer journeys or for families with kids. As the VW California is a more compact campervan, it is easier to drive and park than the Transporter Camper. Because it has a lower roof height, it can be more suitable for low-height car parks and tunnels. It has a smaller turning circle, and maneuvering in tight spaces makes it more accessible.New VW California: Depreciates slowly compared to other campervans. After 3–5 years, it retains around 70-80% of its value. Older Models (10+ years): Can still command high resale prices if well maintained. If you’re considering a VW campervan for your off-grid weekends, it’s a solid investment.
What is the California Ocean spec?
The California Ocean is the highest standard spec for the California. Camper themed specification is mostly the same as the Coast. In other areas, you now get Matrix LED headlights, heated front seats, the larger ‘Discover Pro’ infotainment screen and electrically sliding doors on both sides. The most desirable version is the top-of-the-range VW California Ocean. The layout is identical to the Coast, but things get a little more luxurious, with slick ambient lighting, plenty of little extras and a more premium finish on the cabinets and flooring.Building on California Coast, the range-topping Ocean offers LED Matrix headlights, satellite navigation system, additional roof storage compartment and interior ambient lighting concept.
